This herb grow kit is a brilliant and easy way to start growing your own parsley, basil and oregano from seed.
Description
Each pod contains 2 peat-free coir discs and one seed ball with 5-10 organic herb seeds. To use, simply remove the seed ball, fill the pod with warm water up to the neck and set it aside while the coir discs expand. Then, pop the seed ball on top of the coir, where it will absorb water and stay nicely soaked (you’ll need to add more water if it becomes a tad dry). From here, the seed balls will sprout within a few weeks, and once the growth is well above the top of the pod, you can transfer it into a bigger Container to allow the plant to grow fully, leaving a reusable pod for storing dried herbs. Neat!

Description
Each recycled aluminium pod contains a peat-free coir coin and a seed ball. Simply add water to the coin and pop the seed ball on top. Once the growth gets going the plant can be re-Containerted and the pod re-used or to store dried herbs.
Basil (Ocimum basilicum)
Aromatic annual or biennial with bright green, elliptic leaves and small, tubular white or pink-tinged flowers.
The Latin word basileus means king: in ancient times these leaves were used to create perfumes for monarchs.
Sweet Marjoram (Origanum majorama)
Leaves and flowering sprigs are popular in Greek and Italian meat dishes, soups, stuffings, tomato sauces and pasta, where they are best used towards the end of the cooking process. It was once believed that marjoram helped to nurture love.
Parsley (Petroselinum crispum)
Aromatic biennials with broad, pinnate to 3-pinnate leaves and compound umbels of small white or pale green flowers.
There was an ancient belief that plucking a sprig of parsley while saying one’s enemy’s name would bring about the death of said enemy!
